CRUEL PUNISHMENT.
An Account of the Galley Slaves OF tn
Middle Ages and later Times.

An Account of the Galley Slaves OF the
Middle Ages and Later Times.
The galley, a long, low, narrow YES
sci of war, having sails, but chiefly
propelled by rows of oars on each side,
was used as a part of the fleet of all
maritime nations from the earliest his
toric times down to near the close of
the eighteenth century. The vessel
drew but little water and was especially
convenient for coast service; but the
advancement in the art of navigation
and especially the improvements in
gunnery, at last put an end to this class
of ships, which, it was said, chad domi-
mated the maritime world for over three
thousand years. In the most ancient
times to row in the galleys was consid-
cred honorable; but as the work was
very laborious and it was difficult to pro-
cure voluntary recruits for it, the ancient
nations used to put their prisoners of
war to this service. Then it be-
came customary to condemn criminals
to the work. In the middle ages the
galley rowers were convicts and infdel
prisoners, who were chained to the
benches. The Turks retaliated, and
put captured Christians to the same
labor. In France, Spain and the
Italian republics during the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries the galleys
were used as the means of punishment
for all criminals; even those who had
committed capital crimes were thus
utilized. Heretics were particularly
sought out for this purpose, and in
France Migrants, beggars, poachers,
etc., were employed, and, as even all
these did not suffice to man the benches,
slaves were bought from the Turks,
negroes were brought from Guinea,
and Indians were kidnapped in the New
World. Galley slaves were subjected
to the greatest indignities and cruelties.
Their heads and faces were shaved,
they were always chained to their
benches, and they rowed entirely
naked, being only allowed to wear
clothing when in port. They were
seldom released, even when their time
of service was accomplished. Henry
". ordered the captains of all galleys
to retain prisoners for six years, even
although condemned for shorter time,
and under Louis XIV. galley slaves
sentenced for only two or three years
were often retained for fifteen years
and more. Criminals preferred mutila-
ton and even death to labor in the
galleys. The galleys in France were
abolished in 1748. They had been
gradually going out of use in that and
other countries for some years. -ChicG-

DON'T FRET OR WORRY.
Words of Advice for Exhausted and Merry.
Ous HOusekeeners.

Words of Advice for Exhausted and Nerv-
ous Housekeepers.
EVERY one of these doors creaks SO
horribly that it almost sets me Wild"
exclaimed a tired housekeeper, who was
trying TO rest little after the labors of
wearisome day. Now this was not
the first, perhaps it was the twentieth
time she had made the same, or SINH
lar remark about the creaking of the
doors, when with the aid of a bottle of
oil and feather she might have made
them SWING noiselessly and saved her
self all the annoyance she had suffered.
1t is a great deal easier to make sug-
gestions than to follow them: but it
seems to me that the golden rule' for
housekeepers might be this: IF any
thing goes wrong for which there is a
remedy, apply it as soon as possible; if
there is absolutely no remedy do not
fret, but make the best of it,
| believe that often it is not the work
that makes us feel SO thoroughly weary
at the end of the week as worrying
over it. remember of fretting good
deal over some Thanksgiving pies, com
planning that [ always spoiled them by
putting in too much of one thing or an
other, when my sister quietly remarked
that perhaps | put too much anxiety
into them. | saw the point, and re-
solved henceforth to do the best | could
with my cooking, and to worry less
over results. OF course | had after
wards better success. and far more
peace of mind.
There are days in the experience of
every housekeeper when every thing
seems determined to go wrong, and
perfect avalanche of little troubles and
perplexities seem to overwhelm one
Then, indeed, is she that ruleth her
spirit 'better than he that taketh
city,"
But how often at the close of such a
day have we looked back and seen that
all came right at last in spite of our
forebodings, and we have wished so
much that we could have been self-con-
trolled and sweet-tempered through it
all.
1t is SO natural to magnify little
troubles instead of remembering that
they are not worth fretting about. If
at breakfast the biscuits are little too
yellow, and the steak a trife overdone,
in almost every case no one will be
troubled about it if you are not.
If the coffee is not just exactly right,
no one will notice it unless you call at
tention to- it by some disparaging re-
mark. Especially should we guard
against habit of fretting because of
the discomfort it causes those about us,
and the bad influence it has upon them.
If the housekeeper frets the children do
the same, and the servants also, for
nothing is more contagious, and we
have any thing but a happy household.
However badly things may 60, nothing
is gained by worrying over them, and
if we can not be always bright and
cheerful, we can at least endure
patiently till the storm passes over and
the sunshine returns, as it surely will
in due time. Christian at Work.

oBJEcT LESSONS IN DUELLING.

Jackson. Mississippi has been tho scene
OF an interesting object lesson In duelling
An editor attacked a public official in his
paper The men met and fought in the street
The editor was killed on the spot, and his ad-
versary mortally wounded. Now the question
arises what bearing have these results upon
the subject Of the CONTROVERSY Colonel Ham
iton was assailcl in paper. In reply he has
killed the editor of the paper. But does the
killing OF the editor dsprovc the charges made
against the killer7 The editor OF the paper
was determined to stand TO the charges he
had made How did he do it BY mortally
wounding the man whom he had accused. Does
this prove that tho charges were true ] The
general outcome Of the quarrel is the death OF
10th the parties to it. AS to the issue itself,
that remains absolutely untouched by the mu
tua slaughter. If what Gambrel said about
Hamilton was true, IL remains true. If IL was
false it remains false. 1t is unaffected by the
firing of the pistols which killed the two men.
They have merely demonstrated that they
were furiouSly angry the one with the other.
and that they were ready TO commit homicide
in vengeance. But they have not settled The
real question in dispute, which remains pre-
ciscly what il was at first.
This affair really ought TO be n useful OBJ
ject lesson. Scarcely any one can think over
il moment without pcrcciving the prcposter
BUSINESS Of the reasoning upon which such
action Is based Was there a question of
"honOr" concerned here 7 If so, how has il
been determined Can tho discharge OF a
revolver or q shotgun prove anything more
than the craftsmanship Of the shooter or the
state of his temper II one man charges an
other with being immoral dishonest, mean.
does tho killing Of the accuser vindicate tho
accused Clearly it can do nothing OF the
kind. If, ON the other hand, II is the ac-
cused who is killed, it is equally plain that
the charges arc not strengthened 10y the hom
icide; they are not affected at all But per-
haps those who rely upon tho pistol or knife
in disputes really mean TO take tho position
that nobody must attack them save at the risk
of lifo. Well, in all frontier settlements at
some time there have been attempts to oary
on society upon that basis, and what has been
tho result2 Simply that the men who
resortcd to deadly weapons at every turn have
been themselves killed sometimes in single
combat, sometimes by Judge Lynch. But no
society ever hourishcd upon the pistol and
shotgun principle. Reason and common sense
condemn that method even whero religion and
ethics are silent There is n grim absurdity
about the fate of men who 90 out TO "sccure
vindicaton and arc brought back dead
The progressive clements in society have out
grown such savagery and childishncss, and
cannot tolerate tho persistence Of it. There
ought to be, in the Jackson case, an object
lesson worth scores of sermons TO those who
still remain in darkness on the duelling qucs-
tion,
New-York tribune., 1887-05-16
THE MYSTERY or GIS

Complaints aro being made continually that
the cost Of gas In Ncw-Yor since the nominal
reduction in tho price has been higher than
before, while the quality Of the illuminant
has deterorated. Most householders are appar-
entity perplexed because Of these strange re-
suits, and regard the gas companies as the
custodians Of deep mysteries, not to be pen
etrated by the outside public. The peculiar
tiles Of the gas business have indeed at all
times been many. The man who seals his
burners and goes out Of town for three months.
yet finds on his return that he is charged with
the usual consumption Of gas, reels under the
incomprehensibility of the circumstances, and
generally gives it up as hopeless matter.
That is natural, but really there is nothing
very dark in the present situation. The fact
that the gas now supplied is Of lower ilum-
mating power than formerly Is not the result
of intentional deterioration by the companies.
but Is an unavoidable effect Of the method they
employ to countcract the reduction in price.
It being a maxim with chem that the public
must pay what they choose TO consider fair
return upon their capital, watcrcd and other
wise, they feel themselves compelled to evade
the law. and they do it in the simplest manner
All that is necessary is TO increase the
pressure. This forces the gas through the
meters at such rate that much of it escapes
unburned and that it's Illuminating power is
reduced This however though perhaps not
directly intended is an effect by 10 means to be
avoided by the corporations, for its tendency is
to compel consumers to put in more burners !;
and thus the bills arc still further raised.
If the public interests were thought Of real
consequence by those who ostensibly look after
them, the present state of things would sug-
gest some few practical remedies for an i'm
position which lacks none of the elements of
successful robbery Experience shows that 1t
is quite useless to reduce the price Of gas by
enactment unless measures are also taken to
compel the gasmabcrs TO furnish n standard
quality of gas at a standard pressure. Even
such provisions are useless unless means are
employed to put them in effect and TO see
that they arc adhered 10. But rs all these
precautions arc entirely practicable, and as
there is no reason why the gas companies
should not be made TO keep faith with their
customers. it is possible that in couple of
generations or 80 we shall get n law on the
subject which will amount to something.
